Three NWA World Titles On The Line At Fanfest,
Reserve Your Spot On The Bus Now!
 | | NWA World Champ The Sheik |
Three NWA World championships will be at stake and the 2011 NWA Future Legends Cup winner will be crowned when live wrestling matches return to this August's NWA Wrestling Legends Fanfest Weekend!
New NWA World Heavyweight Champion The Sheik has three challengers looking to get a shot at the famous "10 pounds of gold." Former champ Colt "Boom Boom" Cabana, 3-time former champ "Scrap Iron" Adam Pearce, and former TNA Television champion Gunner are the three top contenders, and each has a compelling case for why he should get the opportunity to fight for the championship. All have confirmed they'll be in Atlanta as well!
 | | Gunner |
The final rounds of the 2011 NWA Future Legends Cup competition will also take place, featuring eight of the very best young talents in the country. Last year's winner, current TNA superstar Gunner (the former Phill Shatter,) will present the beautiful cup to this year's winner.
This showcase of the very best the National Wrestling Alliance has to offer takes place Saturday night, August 6 at the VFW Fairgrounds in Carrolton, Georgia (a regular stop during the glory days of Georgia Championship Wrestling.) The all-star card is being held in conjunction with this year's NWA Wrestling Legends Fanfest Weekend in Atlanta August 4-7.
NWA World Junior Heavyweight Champion Craig Classic will defend against longtime Alabama Junior Heavyweight Champion "Action" Mike Jackson, and the NWA World Tag Team Championship will be defended on the card, as well.
As in previous years, those with fanfest VIP "All Access" Passes will be admitted to the matches free of charge and prior to non-VIPs.
Luxury charter buses will be available for a nominal fee to provide roundtrip transportation from Atlanta's Airport Marriott (site of this year's fanfest activities,) to Carrolton's VFW Fairgrounds, for any fanfest attendees that would like to attend the matches. VIPs that wish to make the 50-mile drive to Carrolton on their own will be allowed to enter the arena with other VIPs (as long as you're there when it's time to open the doors.)
VIPs are strongly encouraged to consider the charter bus service available. Take advantage of the opportunity to let someone else drive, and enjoy the to-be-announced onboard activities provided. The buses will leave Atlanta's Airport Marriott at 5:30 p.m. and return by 11 p.m., in time for "All My Rowdy Friends" with "Rowdy" Roddy Piper! (Very important note: "All My Rowdy Friends" with "Rowdy" Roddy Piper will not begin until the charter buses have returned back to the hotel.)
RESERVE YOUR SPOT ON THE BUS NOW!
The roundtrip bus service is $21 per person and available now.
One of the buses has been designated as a "party bus" for those adults that are so inclined, with complimentary alcoholic beverages provided in both directions. The price for a seat on the "party bus" is $35 per person and is open to anyone 21 years of age and older.
